2024: Retrospective
At the beginning of last year, we set the course for numerous pioneering projects. Events such a INNO|fair 2024, the fall protection congress hosted by Innotech, provided a space for valuable dialogue with industry experts and highlighted how essential partnership-based collaboration is for progress in the safety industry. Under the motto „Green Energy – Orange Safety“ we demonstrated how modern safety solutions not only ensure the safety of PV systems on the roof, but also contribute to the efficiency of the system.
A particular highlight of the year was the publication of our Orange Safety Guide. This comprehensive reference work offers valuable insights into the world of safety solutions - from legal principles to practical application tips. It is more than just a brochure; it is a guideline for safety in every respect.
In parallel, we also worked on the new INNO|doc. With the introduction of the updated version, we were able to take another step towards digital progress. The tool has established itself as a reliable companion for the mobile, legally compliant installation documentation of safety solutions.
Our product range also underwent significant expansions in 2024. These were, to name just a few examples:
- LIGHT-ON-TOP
- Updates in the BARRIER family
- STA-17 + BEF-601
- PSA-STRING-EASY and HSGs
However, progress is not only measured by…
products, but also by the people and projects behind them. This is demonstrated by the reference projects we have realised, including Veratron AG, Novotegra, Pirlo Tubes GmbH and the MUMUTH - House of Music and Theatre of the University of Music and Performing Arts Graz.All of these projects have shown how our solutions are successfully used in practice.
Last year a total of 28 articles (including photo and video contributions) were published in our newsroom, and 12 info articles in our wiki. We also completely revised our About Innotech landing page.
Last but not least, 2024 saw the grand launch of our new image spot, which was created together with the Lux & Zebra agency, as part of INNO|fair.
Teaser 2025: a look ahead
With the knowledge and experience gained in 2024, we are looking forward to the coming months full of vigour. We are focussing on three key topics this year: safety solutions for PV systems on flat and pitched roofs, safety solutions for facades and window fall protection, and safety solutions for wall openings.
These areas present unique challenges that we will continue to meet with modern solutions. There will also be new developments in the area of pitched roof solutions. Stay tuned, we will keep you up to date.
In 2025, INNOTECH will also introduce ETA approval for selected products. This is a voluntary but very important testing process for construction products that sets standardised requirements at the European level.
A lot is also happening on our website this year. In the first quarter, it will receive a modern, intuitive menu structure, and our product finder will also be upgraded and expanded. As part of the release of these new features, we are also providing you with a website guide. In the newsroom and wiki, the new playback function ensures an interactive user experience.
Another highlight is the introduction of our PIM system (Product Information Management system), another important innovation milestone. We thus ensure that product data is managed and provided even more precisely and efficiently - a step that brings tangible benefits
In terms of printed material, there is the brand new 360° INNO|services brochure to discover. Here we present our planning, installation and maintenance services, as well as the INNO|academy and INNO|partners. We also explain what the Technique of Application is all about. So it's definitely worth taking a look.
Partnership, innovation and responsibility
In 2025, INNOTECH will not only set technological standards, but also pursue innovative paths together with our partners and customers. At the same time, we will continue to invest not only in technical solutions, but also in the people behind them.
Every partnership, every project and every product represents a common goal: safety at the highest level - reliable, sustainable and future-orientated. 2024 has shown us what is possible with commitment, expertise and partnership. 2025 offers us new opportunities to implement innovative ideas and continue to grow together.
